Sun hasn't been shining much lately so I haven't been able to get good pictures. 2020 ST we picked up about a month ago replacing my wife's 2018 MB AMG GLC43. So far full paint correction and ceramic coated and tinted taillights. Just got the wheels powder coated, installed Steeda springs, and 1.25" wheel spacers. Next up will be CCI caliper covers and black lug nuts.

The stock wheels look nice in black. I though about getting mine powder coated, haven't decided fully yet.

Tinted tailights are nice.
Very tactical looking ST.

Looks grrrrreat.

Which ceramic coating (brand)?

And who tinted your tails? A tint shop or a performance shop?

For the ceramic I use Wax is Dead coatings. It the Ultimate, which is a 10 year coating. I am an authorized installer for them. The tails I took to a body shop. They scuffed them and painted them with a tinted clear coat.

Looking forward to seeing this. That painted trim makes a world of difference!

OP Those powder coated wheels look great.

I’ll send pics when it’s done. The shop thinks they can spray tint the lights as well.

Are you swapping out those chrome lugs for black? I found them on Amazon if you need a part #.

I got the black caps off amazon. Going to be putting them on after alignment is done.
